That's a fact. The guy who sold me my 20B, says the
racers that are using them in the LA area are getting close to 700-800 HP at
9000+ RPM, and they live. He tells me that the way I am configuring this
thing, it won't be reaching anywhere near it's critical, and will be loafing
along, at 6000 RPM!! God I love these rotaries.

Identification / 20B NA
Another thing to remember is that very few 20Bs were N/A in
standard automotive use. The 20B will produce nearly 300 HP normally aspirated
at less than 7000 RPM. Al Gietzen dynoed the 20B he put in his cozy and with a
fairly restrictive exhaust it made 285 at 68 or 6900 RPM. With a 2.85:1
redrive and any slight flow improvement it would best 300. Another real
plus is that the engine is not at all highly stressed at that
output.
